slushy
Wet, cold mess
Slushy describes something resembling slush—partially melted snow or ice mixed with water.
A slushy road is wet and messy with melting snow.
The word extends to anything with that semi-frozen, watery consistency: slushy ice, a slushy drink.
Figuratively, slushy means excessively sentimental: a slushy romance novel.
As a noun, a slushy is a frozen drink made from flavored ice.
